Learn About Subaru Engine Service in Houston

The Subaru brand offers capability and reliability like none other. Much of that is thanks to the Subaru boxer engine, whose efficiency and low center of gravity make it the secret sauce behind these vehicles' legend. But great performance isn't something to take for granted; it requires visits to a Houston Subaru service center so your Subaru Outback or Subaru Ascent is always ready to give you its best.

Subaru Engine Anatomy

The engine in every new Subaru model is made up of hundreds of parts. These include an engine block, a combustion chamber, a sump, a timing chain, valves, spark plugs, fuel injectors, an alternator, and much more. The timing with which it all works is as important as the precision engineering of the Subaru parts that make up the whole. If anything - condition, tolerances, or timing - is even a little bit off, your vehicle may perform poorly or not at all.

Engine Wear

One of the prime causes of engine trouble that we see at our Houston Subaru dealership is engine wear. Engines are in a constant state of motion, and if they're not properly maintained, that motion leads to all kinds of problems. Miss an oil change and your engine may experience adhesion wear (parts beginning to stick together). High heat erodes gaskets and lets fluids seep into engine components, leading to chemical wear and engine fatigue. And friction wear occurs when your oil levels are low, or if you use the wrong formulation.

When Do You Need Subaru Engine Service?

Follow the Subaru service intervals in your owner's manual, and heed the service reminders you'll get from Gillman Subaru Southwest. But if you're spending a lot of time off-road, or if you tow frequently, stop in more often for an inspection and key fluid changes. Just remember that neglect tends to lead to expensive repairs, so don't wait on engine maintenance, or ignore any trouble signs you notice.
